The Crow and the Swan (Varna ir gulbė) Kā vārna gribēja balta kļūt Collaborative storytelling Atvasite, Latvia (illustrations) Rokutis, Lithuania (story)



Rokutis, Lithuania Vienoje tolimoje šalyje gyveno varna ir gulbė. Varna labai mėgo kalbėtis su gulbe: “Gulbe, ar tu žinai, kur Lietuva?” “Eik tuo takeliu ir nueisi į Lietuvą.” Nors jos ir buvo draugės, bet varna labai gulbei pavydėjo kad gulbė tokia balta: “Gulbe, kodėl tu tokia balta?” “Aš kiekvieną dieną maudausi ir prausiuosi.” Atsakė Gulbė. Far far away there lived a crow and a swan. They liked to talk together. The crow asked the swan, “Do you know where is Lithuania?” The swam answered, “Follow this path and you come to Lithuania.” Even they were friends, the crow was jelous that the swam was so white, “How does it come that you always are white?” “I bathe and wash every day,” replied the swan.

Atvasite, Latvia Vārnai ļoti skauda, ka gulbis ir balts un viņa ir melna.

Crow started to begrudge because swan was with white feathers but he was with black feathers.

Ir rytą gulbė buvo murzina, išpurvinta.

Viņa domāja, ka tāpēc tagad gulbis arī būs melns kā viņa pati.

The next morning the swan woke up all dirty and soiled.

She thought - the swan will be as black as she was because of that.

Rokutis, Lithuania Išlipus į krantą džiovinosi ir kranksėjo: “Kran-kran, aš nemurzina, kran-kran aš juoda.” Apsidairė ir pamatė, kad gulbės nėra. Kitą dieną varna laukė, kol gulbė atskris ir vėl jos galės pasikalbėti.

She scrambled onto the shore and said, “Cow-cow, I am not dirty. Cow-cow, I am black.” She looked around but couldn’d see the swan. She sat down to wait for the swan so they can talk again.

Kiek varnÄ… beprausi vistiek bus juoda. No matter how much you wash the crow it is always black.
